Hi. I have installed mythbuntu 8.10 and cannot get mythnews youtube to work. The same was not working with 8.04.

I can see all videos available from the front end, click on the video and see the "downloading media..." msg on the screen.

The frontend log shows the following:


2008-11-21 18:37:32.795 XMLParse::LoadTheme using /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/news-ui.xml
2008-11-21 18:38:07.957 MythNews: VideoURL http://youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=d>

Playing /home/marcello/.mythtv/MythNews/newstempfile.
Exiting... (End of file)

This does not seem the parser is doing a good job since the URL http://youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=d does not exist. And does not matter which video I click, I get the same highlighted URL above.

I updated the mythstream youtube parser based on this bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/223781 but did not help.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Marcello

I should have mentioned... that I also tested youtube mythstream on mythbuntu and it is currently not working...

Managed to get mythstream working with youtube by installing the updated parser, removing the $HOME/.mythtv/mythstream/streams.res and creating a streams.res with just a test entry. Maybe something was not getting properly updated via the frontend...

example:

YouTube top viewed today

yt
youtube/feed

I cannot seem to get any video/audio working in mythnews. I'd like to get the Onion Videos Working...
